1. I really miss the bubble

2. Miss u 🥲

3. This traumatized Jokic so much he began perfecting the behind the head buzzer beater jump shot.

4. And then joker took this personally and decided to hit the most impossible, shot clock beating, most deflating shots over AD for the next 5 years.. fuck denver

5. # “KOBE!”

6. i will forever love AD man

7. Knew we were winning it all after that shot. Destiny!

   Also major shout-out to Rondo for that pass.

8. This was a magical run. I miss this team so much. The camaraderie was next level.

9. Thanks to the LFR outro that is the most times I’ve ever heard a playcall.

10. What a season this was.

11. Rajon ‘Perfect Pass’ Rondo

12. He was tougher than glass back then. But thank you for the championship.

13. I was going through cancer treatments at the time and got VERY sick from something and was hospitalized for a week. On day 3 or 4 of being in the hospital, I watched this game on the tiny screen they had in my room and I damn near pulled out my IV because I threw my arms in the air when he made it lol. Good times haha

14. Damn. This was so satisfying to rewatch. Nuggets been getting the better of Lakers but we won a championship then.

15. I remember being so hyped when this happened

    Incredible team and an immaculate season

16. AD was shooting lights out during that run

17. AD murdered THT, and he didn’t even notice 😂

18. Rondo was stone cold here. No huge celebratory reaction, bro knew it was going in

19. lol r/nbatalk and r/nba ignore this series

20. That bounce pass from Rondo though~

21. I miss that team. The chemistry was immaculate.

22. He said “KOBE”

23. Plamli and guy in block fuck up this one

24. Man I was so hyped after that shot. He was a beast that whole run.

    

25. I remember watching this at my parents house. My dad and I both jumped up and were screaming at the top of our lungs when AD made this shot. Such a good memory made during such a dark/uncertain time with COVID. Can’t believe that was 5 years ago. I remember this like it was yesterday.

26. “KOBE!”

27. He moved so much smoother and more agile back then. Lift on the jump shot was also different.

28. One of my favorite playoff moments ever 🥹

29. That basic bounce pass is underrated. Took some velocity off the ball, In his shooting motion and right on time. Rondo

30. MF said Kobe! Lol

31. Serious. Can we get AD back?
